NOVEL NEXT Chapter 28
Chapter 28: What kind of bamboo stick is this that can’t be chopped?
On the other side, the target guy surrounded by dozens of assassins suddenly felt the pressure drop.
Turning around, he saw the blind man in front of the wonton stall just now wielding a bamboo stick, reaping the lives of this group of assassins like harvesting wheat.
Seeing the body of the straw-hat guest on the ground, the target guy was first stunned, then ecstatic!
Truly, heaven does not abandon the kind-hearted!
Expecting to be doomed this time, unexpectedly a blind man emerged halfway to help him. Dozens of assassins were powerless under Li Mo’s bamboo pole.
The target guy was shocked to see it!
This blind man’s skills were unexpectedly powerful, it seemed that he was even beyond Tianze!
However, the target guy became alert again. Why did this blind man want to help him? They came from afar, from Baiyue, and in Han they didn’t know of such a master.
“May I ask who you are?”
Seeing the assassins around him all being killed, the target guy asked cautiously.
“You don’t need to know.”
Li Mo shook his head and walked towards him step by step. Just now, the weapon and attire of that old man in straw hat reminded him of someone.
That was one of the Nightfall Four Evils, the Moonlit Man in Straw.
This man, whose whole body was filled with deathly aura, like a zombie, was most likely the target guy from the Red-Browed Dragon and Snake Army of Baiyue.
They had come to save Tianze, but unexpectedly fell into Nightfall’s ambush. If he killed such an important figure of Nightfall tonight, and if the target guy was captured by them, they would definitely extract his appearance from him.
After that, there would be no peace for Li Mo! Therefore, the safest way was to kill along with the target guy!
The target guy suddenly sensed something wrong, it seemed that this blind man was also here to kill him!
“Who are you exactly?”
He couldn’t understand why Li Mo wanted to kill him. Logically, if you killed someone from Nightfall, you couldn’t be on the same side as them.
But apart from Nightfall, the target guy couldn’t think of any force that would want to kill him! He knew that he was no match for the blind man before him, and a foul-smelling black smoke billowed out of his black robe.
The black smoke shrouded the surroundings, and the target guy tried to flee using this black smoke. But the idea was good, the reality was cruel. This method of disturbing vision was ineffectual against a blind man like Li Mo—it was pointless!
Li Mo’s spiritual awareness automatically blocked that black smoke, and he could clearly sense the target guy darting away on the ground like a rat.
Li Mo raised the bamboo pole in his hand and pointed in a direction. As he released his finger, the bamboo pole flew out like an arrow shot from a bow.
“How is this possible!”
The target guy widened his eyes in extreme fear! The black smoke he used was refined from corpses and could disturb people’s senses. Even if this blind man couldn’t see, he should have been affected in terms of smell and hearing.
But why was he completely unaffected, finding his location so quickly! The bamboo pole, as thick as a thumb, flew straight towards the target guy’ throat, and he was completely petrified in place.
He wanted to evade, but the speed of the bamboo pole far exceeded his imagination. Just when he thought he was certain to die, a cold light passed in front of his eyes like a startled swan, at the critical moment deflecting the bamboo pole.
Clang!
As the bamboo pole made contact with the blade, it produced a strange metallic clash. A spark burst at the point of contact, particularly conspicuous in the night!
“Huh?”
Wei Zhuang looked at the bamboo pole that he had struck with his sword, yet it remained intact, furrowing his brows in puzzlement.
His Shark Fang Sword was known as the bane of famous swords, so how couldn’t it even cut through a bamboo pole?
“Is it you?” Seeing Li Mo not far away with his eyes covered in black cloth, he was once again dumbfounded. Wasn’t this the blind man who recited stories at Purple Orchid Pavilion?
“Quite interesting, it seems that even I didn’t realize you had such skills.”
Wei Zhuang’s cold gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, his eyes suddenly becoming serious. It seemed that what the Sister Zi said was right, this blind man was indeed extraordinary.
He had seen Li Mo a few times at Purple Orchid Pavilion, and other than looking a bit more handsome, he seemed quite ordinary.
But for a blind man who needed assistance to walk, to be able to kill dozens of assassins including the Straw Hat Assassin, was impressive!
If he hadn’t arrived in time just now, the target guy might not have even withstood a single move in his hands!
“Wei Zhuang…”
Li Mo “looked” at the man with white hair and the peculiar sword, immediately knowing his identity. The reason why Wei Zhuang saved the target guy was not hard to guess.
They wanted to deal with Nightfall, but now they were in a difficult situation. It was a good choice to cooperate with the Red-Browed Dragon and Snake.
“Are you taking him away?” Li Mo put down his hand that had just thrown the bamboo pole, and calmly asked. Wei Zhuang glanced at the target guy with the corner of his eye and replied slowly, “Yes.”
“What if I don’t allow it?”
Wei Zhuang tightened the sword in his hand: “Then you should ask my sword.”
